After Action Report
In Denver, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Nuggets 116-95. Rockets' offense had its way with the Nuggets. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
